A joint meeting. AND a hybrid meeting. Nothing quite like this had been attempted in the 241-Educational-Meeting history of Gavel UOC, but if there is one thing we know, it’s that Gavel never stops. The Gaveliers of the Gavel Club of University of Kelaniya and the Gavel Club of the University of Colombo rocked the […]
The 236th Educational meeting of Gavel UOC was graced with the presence of ghouls, demons, anime characters, and masked Soldiers for the late-night Halloween meeting inspired by the sensational show: “Squid Game”. The meeting commenced with the president, soldier Susara calling the meeting to order. Then the controls were handed over to the TMOD, soldier […]
Gavel Under The Trees – or commonly referred to as the GUTT meeting is one of the most looked forward to days by our gaveliers.

Well, it was the moment, the moment we had all been waiting for, but the ‘Ex-Magicians of Gavel UOC’, had not so much. From epitomizing quintessential leadership and inspiring the generation to come, to spilling the beans and jeopardizing their own self-esteem, these senior Gaveliers went through 2 hours (give or take) of wonderful merrymaking […]

They are non-other than Mr. Shayen Yatagama, who was the Junior treasurer for the term 2016/17, and Mrs. Vimukthini Jayalath who was […]
